Hello, and Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow.
We want you to make
vintage, shabby chic or primitive cards...with the theme "STEAMPUNK" ..
ok, now THIS is a challenge! and that's one of the things I love about Sugar Creek Hollow...
I had never done one before and had to go see what I could find on this...
here you go...
here you go...
from Wikepedia...Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. It involves a setting where steam power is widely used ... Steampunk is most directly influenced by, and often adopts the style of, the 19th century scientific romances of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Mary Shelley.
AHA! light bulb moment..now I understand the Steampunk Paper I bought from Graphic 45....bought it because I liked the colors... didn't understand any of the images LOL
Done completely using only Graphics 45 - Steampunk Debutante Collection designer paper and my own computer generated sentiment....lightly sponged with Ranger's Distress Rusty Hinge. Used Spellbinders "Twisted Metal Tags/Accents", cardstock is SU's Bashful Blue and pearls done with Viva's Gold Pearl Pen....
Hope you decide to try this "thinking outside the box" challenge...for more inspiration pop over and check out the Design Team - their creations are awesome!!!
Cant believe I did a "Steampunk" card LOL...especially since I had never heard of it before this challenge!!!!

Linda, this is gorgeous! I have tried steampunk but it just doesn't turn out right. You have inspired me with the beautiful papers. I have some Tim Holtz stamps that would be perfect so maybe I'll give it a try.
Look at you doing the Steampunk thing! Proud of you and really glad to to have the total defination, cause I was kind of lost on what fit and what didn't. Love it!
I just cannot seem to make Steampunk- you did a fabulous job- love the gold pearly accents!
